Personal Childhood Web


My friends are my right hand peeps. They have stood by me in everything that I do. Each of us have a different personality because we were all raised in different environments. Our different backgrounds is what keeps our friendship at all new and exciting levels. This group of friends have been by my side through the good and the bad. They have been some of my main supports. These young women have kept me up when I feel like I am too sleepy to focus on my work. They each have their own form of motivational speaking that fits the advice they give. Together we are mothers aiming for a better tomorrow through work and school. We plan on leaving an awesome legacy for our child.


My mom and dad are my number one supporters. they have raised me to be the woman that I am today. Both of my parents love me unconditionally and I love them to the moon and back. My dad and mom are my hero and the people that I look up to. My dad is a supervisor that works with the City of Hattiesburg. My mom is a seamstress and has been my supporter and team player all my life. My parents have been my counselors, best friends, supporter, and spiritual belief to a better life.


My husband is a cook and has been cooking for over ten years. When having a hard time with work or school, he is my motivation and educator. My husband is my best friend and we have been through a lot of different situations. 


My grandmother and my aunt are my life supports. They are there for me when I am sick, healthy, sad, mad, etc.. I don't have to worry about the negative energy with them because they are more more worried with the idea of what I want and what it will take a little to earn everything I'm working towards a brighter future. 


My son is my reason for living. I wake up and go to sleep aiming to build my son a better life. With this degree I can continue to build a legacy for the joy of my life. I have seen many different things in my life but my greatest accomplishment  is my son. He comes and helps me with my homework and allows me the space I need to clear my mind and thoughts.

Personalization

Quote:
"Children must be taught how to think, not what to think". Margaret Mead. 

Children Book Title:
"No, David!" By: David Shannon

         I love this book because it's educational and funny. The reaction that the children give when this book is read to them is a hilarious moment and enjoyable. David does everything that he knows is a no-no and allowing the children to point out and discuss what David is doing wrong helps them to understand the book and why David was in the wrong.

A Child's Story:

        A child that has touched my heart recently is a little boy where I currently work. He is four years old he lost his mom two weeks ago. She was his best friend and mother. The father is no where in the picture and hasn't been since birth. He talks to me and my teachers about what he's feeling instead of counselors and grandparents. He told me that he knows that his mother is in Heaven and that she is with God but he wants to know when she's coming to take him to Heaven. With a tearful heart I explained to him that it's not his time and that his mom is his guardian angel. This week he has taken what we talked about and started rebuilding his foundation for his future. he told my staff, "I am doing good at school and I am on the search to find me a mom. This little boy continues to make an impact on my heart.

I have been in the childcare field for at least six years or more now. Children need foundation where they can be themselves, make new friends, and start on their journey to success. There will be some hard times but there will also be easy times. Education is not one of those fields that an individual should enter into without full knowledge as to the needs of the children because at the end of the day that is what matters. Besides the relationship that the children will have with their parents they will have a understanding relationship with their teacher on certain issues. I talk to my students and determine what they may be experiencing and how I can help. Not all children will want to share information about things that they are experiencing because not everyone's opinion is good for the situation at hand. A student-teacher relationship can be established to a certain extent and without any extra incentives.
